Isl-1 down-regulates DRG cell proliferation during chicken embryo development.

OBJECTIVE: Protein Isl-1 RNA interference and over expression in early chicken embryo dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were used to investigate the function of Isl-1 in DRG cell proliferation.

METHODS: Isl-1 targeted shRNA expression vector and Isl-1 over-expression vector were transfected into chicken embryo DRG by in .....
